When coming to Moab, the most popular things to see are it’s natural wonders that are highlighted in it’s two National Parks. Arches National Park is an excellent place to explore, hike and take photographs. Canyonlands National Park is such a large park, that it would take many years to see the entire park. Canyonlands National Park is divided into three sections by the Colorado and Green Rivers. The most popular section is Island in the Sky, it was given it’s unique name due to the fact that you sit high on a mesa and look down into the many wonderful geological features. The second most popular section is The Needles and it is a great place 4x4 as you are down in the canyons looking at the tremendous spires above. The last section of Canyonlands is called the Maze. The Maze is a remote area that offers back country access only.
